Jo's Boys by Louisa Alcott
A nice edition with 11 illustrations and a cover from a 1914 edition.
Jo's Boys, and How They Turned Out: A Sequel to Little Men was first published in 1886 as the final book in the Little Women series. In it, Jo's children, now grown, are caught up in real world troubles. The book follows the lives of Plumfield boys who were introduced in Little Men, particularly Tommy, Emil, Demi, Nat, Dan, and Professor Bhaer as well as Jo's sons Rob and Teddy. The book takes place ten years after Little Men.
Louisa May Alcott (1832-88) was brought up in Pennsylvania, USA. She turned to writing in order to supplement the family income and had many short stories published in magazines and newspapers. She was reluctant to write a children's book but then realized that in herself and her three sisters she had the perfect models. The result was Little Women (1868) which became the earliest American children's novel to become a classic.
